On a Saturday evening in January 2020, 23-year-old Giovanni Segura of Lawrenceville was shot during an altercation at the Exxon station on Lawrenceville Highway in Lilburn, Georgia. Segura was with his girlfriend when a man allegedly tried to get into their car and a verbal dispute followed. Segura punched the man, turned toward the vehicle, and was then shot. His girlfriend called 911 and took him to Eastside Medical Center, where he died of his injuries.

Investigators from the Lilburn Police Department, assisted by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, used witness statements and surveillance footage to identify a suspect. The next day authorities arrested 20-year-old Ulises Oliver Maldonado-Jimenez of Lawrenceville; he was charged with felony murder and two counts of aggravated assault and held without bond. Police say Segura and Maldonado-Jimenez were not known to each other before the encounter. The couple’s account says Segura shielded his girlfriend and was struck twice.

What did anyone at the gas station see that night, and can someone with information help explain how the confrontation began?
